Opengl Or Video Mode Prob

boobs!

<div class="IPBDescription">no video modes to choose from</div> i recently had a bad virus attack and had to format my HDs. i recently reinstalled HL and its updates and now when i run it, it says it does not support my video card in OpenGL. I know it does, been playing with it almost a year now. when i go into the video modes, OpenGl is the only one i have the option to choose from and software and D3D both do not have any options. anyone have any idea what is the problem? also it starts up in a windowed mode.

1) pull up the statr line that you use for HL/ns and remove -window (or something like that, should handel that one <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

2) Give us some (Like all) sys specs. Most important are Vidcard and OS.

3) what Stryker said, update the vid card drivers <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Can you attach your DxDiag? Go to Start> Run and type DXDIAG, then click "Save All Information" when it's not greyed out anymore.

I had this exact problem. Anything opengl, like HL or the hammer editors viewports would fail to launch. It was solved by un installing the graphics card drivers and running a 3rd party program to remove the rest of them that was not removed by using the uninstaller and then restarting my computer and installing the drivers again. I was running xp home with a gf4 mx440 at the time.
